you would at least have some credibility wrt the "heading to the US" part.
Why let them pull up to a beach and risk all hell breaking out?
You're weaseling. There are 12 miles of US territorial water. Once they get past Haiti and Cuba, it becomes far more unambiguous wrt where they are heading. So you have plenty of time to do your killing in the US waters, where you at least have some jurisdiction, and the opportunity to at least substantiate one of your claims for your illegal action. I mean, you still have to prove that they are smuggling drugs and convince the nation that you somehow can't simply arrest them in the first place, for whatever reason. So you still have a mountain to climb, but at least you can claim that they were truly heading towards the USA.
Right now, they could be heading in any direction, doing anything, and all we have is the president's word, and you know what that's worth: a big pile of nothing.
Admit it, the whole point is the pleasure you draw from blowing people up. Specifically, blowing Latin Americans up.
